[text] @remmidemmi; just like animals [open]

Hey I've got a quick question for everyone, mostly those of you who aren't as new as I am (my name's Remi, hi). Has there been any kind of running encyclopedia going about the different spirits that you've run into? I was kind of thinking that I'd like to take notes, but I don't want to step on any toes since I already have some other projects going.

Which I guess I might as well bring up, too, while I'm at it. If you want to help with any specific kind of building project, let me know? I'm not going to start anything until I talk to Rastus about supplies, but I'm a woodworker, so I volunteered [sort of] to help out with building repairs and additions and whatnot.

Thanks

Nothing like being dead to have plenty of time for side projects.

helps keep the mind off of the whole being-dead thing

I don't know anything about the spirits, but I'm pretty good at mending things? I mean, if you're looking for help with repairs?

Yeah, yeah, totally! I'll let you know once I take a full inventory what could just use some basic repairs and upkeep instead of a full constructive overhaul.

I don't think I could do an overhaul? On, like, anything? But let me know when you need me? Texting might be the easiest way to find me.

Right, I understand. Don't worry, I'll just let you know if I find smaller projects, and I'll focus on the big things myself.

I'm not much of a people person, so text is great.

There's some information in the Town Hall. People have been working on things.

What kind of woodworking?

Awesome, thanks. I'll take a look at what's over there.

I like building houses, and furniture.

And you have experience with both?

I've never built an entire house from scratch before? I mean, not a life-sized one. But I've built miniatures with realistic structuring, so that's more or less the same premise, I think...

But yeah I've built pieces of furniture.

Furniture could be helpful.

Has anyone said anything about your spirit idea?

Not really, no
Mostly just that I should look and see what information's already been listed at the town hall.

But I'd really like to hear some detailed firsthand encounters. I think it would help everyone if we really, ah, documented the population.

The spirits a lot of us have experience with are peaceful. The postmaster is helpful. But it's always a good idea to be careful.

Right. Exactly, yeah. Even the kindest or gentlest seeming spirit can turn on you if you cross them. And they're all generally far from harmless.

[He doesn't want to think about it let alone actually document them. But...safety first. It's important.]

And it's likely that even the most dangerous of spirits will have some kind of weakness, even if it's just enough to distract them and get to safety. I'd like to detail all of the ones we come across, regardless of how often they can be found. Just in case they come back again.

Where would we record that? On the phones?

And how are you going to find out about weaknesses without hurting them while they're peaceful?

Yeah, just taking notes on your phone would be helpful, and we can turn them in to a collective space every so often...

[Panic!!!]

I don't think we should go out of our way to find any of that information, since we don't want to agitate anyone.

Good. They are usually peaceful. They can do a lot of damage, so we don't need to set them off.

I believe it. I've seen firsthand what spirits can do to a person when they're angry, so, anything we can do to avoid that...

I hope you don't have to see it again.

[That none of them do, but... Who knows?]

Or feel it.

[Shudders.]

[Well, that's unfortunate.]

I'm sorry.

I was serious about that garden, by the way. unless you think it's out of your means?

[ hi, remember him? ]

[Absolutely he remembers you.]

I don't have much of a green thumb, but I can build window boxes and other gardening plots if that'll help.

Planter boxes would do quite well. And possibly some fencing to keep others from trundling over sprouts. Any help is good help, Remi.

As far as a project: the church was torn up in the last few days. If you'd be willing to repair the damages, I'll do what I can to assist you.

( even with super senses, he's probably too blind to properly fix it himself. )

that just happened? like now?

[Oh my god. Seriously? There's already so many other things that need fixing, why would someone destroy a perfectly good church?]

Thanks, yeah, I'll head over and see what I can get started on.

Couldn't tell you when, exactly, but recently.

I want to help if possible, though I can't claim to have any experience in wood working.

I'm not much at conversation but the more the merrier. I think I'm going to need all the help I can get with how few supplies we have.

( Matt is sort of a Talker, it comes with both being a lawyer and also being blind, he likes to be told what is happening. still, if it gets the church fixed, he'll be a quiet little church mouse. )

That's fine, I don't mind. What sort of supplies will you need? I'll see what I can find scrounging around.
